I agree with Slacker. The only canceling votes come from within a household. Specifically, a partnership where both should be on one side or the other for thier mutual benefit. When husband and wife vote opposite, no one wins.

I'm not going to say which my wife is voting for, but I support her decision. Even though I might have voted opposite, I wouldn't have voted in her direction. So, instead of canceling her vote, I will move on to other issues we agree on and abstain from the presidential vote.

If the above bit seems confusing about my position on the candidates, let me make myself clear; I don't like either one of them a bit. I won't toss a vote at Nader or someone else as a "spite" vote. No, I'll just hope my wife is wiser than I and things turn out OK over the next 4 years.

I know one thing, Bush won't be around next time to vote for, Cheney wil be dead, or almost, and if Kerry doesn't win, he'll be toast. So, in 4 years I hope that there is some kind of real choice.

Steve Stromberg is an intelligent guy, but he is a reactionary. I understand his notions, or rather the notions he has adopted, and I can agree with some of them. However, I would not tend to make a bunch of noise in that direction.

Things are not the way they used to be and they are not for the better either. Until everyone realizes what the benefits are to being a civilized and free nation, and the abuse of the system stops, we will continue to become a third world country. My father lived in the best of times. I'm glad I don't have to go too much further in life.

Kinda drifted from voting, didn't I? Well, damnit, until we get rid of the current raft of polititians and get some honest people with a proper sense of nationalism, things will continue to slide.

Gentlemen, I just don't see any hope with either of the candidates. The ball is your court.
